Image of Nidhog - Hall of Nidhog Adventure Preview

Currently I am writing a short, linear adventure for +Erik Tenkar's upcoming fan-zine called "Nidhog's Hall". This adventure
takes place far to the east of Eira in the homeland of the dwarves long before
they left that land and sought refuge in Eira. The main adversary of this
adventure is the ancient Arch Draco-lich, Nidhog, who is so powerful that he
split his soul into five different phylacteries.

While Nidhog is only one being each phylactery is semi-sentient
and can create an "Image of Nidhog" a clone or avatar of the Nidhog
that processes a fraction of his power (1/5 to be exact). These images have Nidhog's personality, his
memories and his darkness and their experiences are known and remembered by the
Arch-Draco-lich. If a phylactery of
Nidhog is destroyed, that part of Nidhog is not destroyed but distributed
between the remaining phylacteries.

Fear Aura - Anyone
within 60' of the creature must make a saving throw with a negative 1 modifier.
If the saving throw is failed target is affected as by the fear spell with the
addition that the target has a 60% chance of running as well.

Well, five years later and I have sold maybe six copies. With that in mind I figured I might as well break it up into two or three parts and post in on the blog.

Thoughts are welcome as I am always interested in what others think of my original works.

I. The stench of rotten fish, sweat, mildewed wood and the
ocean rose up from the black waters of the harbor in a visible mist that hung over the free
trade city of Wickend adding to the
already strong reek of human filth and cheap ale. The setting sun,
unable to pierce the vile mist, washed over the crumbling buildings that lined the twisting streets of
the Old District. From open doors and windows came the sounds of life, true life, of men laughing and
boasting, of women flirting and dealing in their trades. To an outsider, the Old Distr…

Arcane Gauntlets are small devices of leather and copper fitted to the wearer's primary hand and feature a small, thin gem imbued with pure arcane energies affixed to the palm. As a standard action the wearer of an Arcane Gauntlet may release its energies up to four times in a single encounter safely, and up to eight times if the wearer is willing to endure the burning residual heat from sustained use of the device. If an Arcane Gauntlet is used to its maximum effect (eight times) it is inoperable until such a time as its wearer takes a long rest.
